The wooded stream is another wetland type found on the reserve. This type of wetland provides moist soils for a variety of different plants. This is a large patch of skunk cabbage. Birds that are attracted to this type of wooded wetland are Wood Thrushes and woodpeckers. This is the only location on the reserve that I have seen 5 species of woodpeckers; Red-bellied, Downy, Hairy, and Pileated Woodpecker and Northern Flicker.
